Attaching a management station
You can manage your router in the following ways:
•
Connect a PC or terminal to the console port on the management module. From this port, you can assign an IP address to the
management module and establish connections through Telnet or SSH.
•
Connect the router to your existing management network and manage the router and other network devices from a management
station.
NOTE
The management network that you connect to through the 10/100 Ethernet port must be separate and isolated from the
network over which user packets are switched and routed. For information about functionality on the management port,
Refer to “Understanding management port functions” on page 208.
